North Korea: US and South Korea Tried to Assassinate Kim Jong Un

As reported by the Associated Press today, North Korea accuses the United States and South Korea of an unsuccessful assassination attempt against leader Kim Jong Un. On state media, North Korea’s Ministry of State Security said spy agencies in June 2014 “ideologically corrupted and bribed” a North Korean working in Russia. According to the ministry, the North Korean was to carry out the assassination with a “delayed-action radioactive” or “nano” poisonous substance.
